A handsome facsimile of conceptualist Luigi Ghirri's poetic narrative of 1970s pop
culture. Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri (1943-92) made 'Cardboard Landscapes' (Paesaggi
di cartone) during his travels around Europe, coining the term "sentimental geography"
to describe his unique artistic approach of examining the ordinary to prove it remarkable.
The original handmade album features over 100 chromogenic color prints pasted onto
the pages of a blank book, and was gifted by Ghirri to John Szarkowski, then the Director
of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, in the 1970s. A singular
work of art, 'Cardboard Landscapes' is now being published for the first time. The
collection is an anomaly within Ghirri's overall oeuvre, as it prioritizes complex
composition rather than the sweeping tableaux for which he is best known. In this
series of works, he regards the printed image as the subject, framing a kaleidoscope
of photographs and advertisements to tell a poetic visual narrative that reflects
at once regional, personal and popular culture, revealing a fascinating impulse to
investigate his role within his own medium
